Sa nabka mouwa77adin

We will become united and we will remain united for Lebanon. Don't sink in xenophobia. Resist the will to fight, the will to judge and the will to hate. Listen to the other side, you might really find out important facts, i.e. they're just like us (some of course).

Then the Lord whispered in our hearts…..Words can reach where weapons cannot

We asked our village sage, how can we restorewarmth to the face of our souls whenthe favorite poisons of Satan,fear, despair, and hatred alightupon innocent hearts as ashesfrom the funeral pyre of joy

How can the eyes of faith close to sleep whenacross the night bed of hopesheets of despairing pall are spread and the lurid hollow eyes of perjury beam, and subvert words of sacred text, laughingas divine counsel is debased and done violence

Dear sage, we asked, how can goodness smile whenunabashed hatred slaps virtue off the face of shameemboldening hatreds minions, who feverishlytwist and mutilate the morals of their victimsdeceiving those souls until they believe that sin is virtue, murder is justice, and hatred is love

Your path to heaven cannot be paved withchaste corpses across a river of blood, embrace the dreadful ebb and flow of truth in your heart, meet doubt and dishonor when they surface, for theyreveal to you that compassion, not revenge, fulfills the soul

His voice beamed as a bright light when he saidbravely, deeply, reach into your heartwithout guile, without deceit, without prejudicetouch faith there, then inexorablyGod's words in hearts healinglike the timeless rain, drawn unrelenting to the seawill swell into a profound unsounded amity in the soul's oceanic sanctuary, and become peacelapping upon the shores of divine purpose
